Agnes enjoyed attending church, crocheting, playing cards, eating pineapple, baking, enjoying the farm animals and going on numerous adventures with her family. She instilled in us the value of faith, family and hard work. The life lessons she taught us will be proudly carried on through her children and grandchildren. She was an inspiration to us all. We will forever be blessed by being able to call her Mom and Granny.
